In a recent lecture before the Regal
Institution OF London, Sir William
Thomson presented four lines OF argu-
ment by which physicists have been
enabled to estimate the size Of mole
cules-the invisible particles which
are supposed to constitute all matter.
Stated roughly, it is shown by this rea-
sonlng, with high degree of proba-
bility-that, In ordinary liquids, trans
parent solids or seemingly Opaque SOL
Ids, the average distance between the
centres OF contiguous molecules IS less
than one twO-mlllionth of an inch and
Erea.er than one four hundred-miI-
lIouth of an inch II a globe OF water
or glass six and One-thlrd inches III
diameter We're magnIded 10 the size OF
the earth, the size of each constituent
molecule being increased IN the same
proportion, then the magnilied mass
would be more coarse grained than a
heap of small shot, but probably less
coarse grained than a heap of six and
third inch globes.

BY planning for the arrival of colts
IN the autumn. tie work of the team
will only be lost f0r a few days at a
season when its loss will cause but
little Inconvenience. Experience proves
that maIes in foal, if literally fed and
attended to 10y 4 careful man, may be
worked, and worked hard, without
detrlment to themselves or their foals,
but while sucking the colts, they must
be worked only moderately, or the
supply of milk will be diminished IN
quantity and injured in quality, to the
lasting disadvantage OF the colts. Give
them generous treatment, and never
allow one to receive a blow, always re-
membering that pluck, courage and de-
termination are as necessary in horse
as in a man. and that he will surely
lack them if his spirit is broken by
cruel treatment, close confinement or
insufficient food.
